Holly Jackson started writing stories from a young age, completing her first (poor) attempt at a novel aged fifteen. She lives in London and aside from reading and writing, she enjoys playing video games and watching true crime documentaries so she can pretend to be a detective. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is her first novel. You can follow Holly on Twitter and Instagram @HoJay92

Review

There is a lot to really enjoy in this story and there is great energy to the writing, as well as some fine characterization. (Peter James, award-winning and no.1 bestselling crime thriller author of Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series)

Prepare to be murdered by this book. Dark, dangerous and intricately plotted – my heart literally pounded. I haven't been this addicted to anything since Serial. Holly Jackson is the next big thing, I promise. (Laura Steven, author of the critically acclaimed The Exact Opposite of Okay)

Twisty, compulsive and so, so, clever (Savannah Brown, author of The Truth About Keeping Secrets)

This book was a delight from start to finish. I laughed. I cried. And I very much enjoyed attempting to solve the case with Pip (who I now want to be my best friend). I didn't guess the twist, and I don't think many people will. Holly Jackson has absolutely killed it with her debut! (Aisha Busby, author of A Pocketful of Stars and contributor to the award-winning A Change is Gonna Come)

That ending! Pure genius (Yasmin Rahman, author of All the Things We Never Said)

In a League of its Own (Lucy Powrie, author of The Paper & Hearts Society)

A Twisty, compelling UK YA debut (Fiona Noble, The Bookseller)
